Lures, withdrawn

I mentioned recently that there is a guy in town who was trying to lure me back into the bike business. That lure has been withdrawn. Apparently some of the discussions he and I had led him to think very differently about his business. Change is going to happen, of course. Some for the better, some not so much so. I can't really say that this path of change will be worse for me, or better--I really don't know. Since it's not clearly for my better interest, it's time to explore other avenues of change for myself.

On the brighter side, I've been on one bike or another four days in a row, with travels ranging to downtown or near downtown every day, rather than just short hops around Lyndon or St Matthews for errand-running.

I've even received an invitation to participate in the Louisville Bicycle Club's "Trainer Tours," with the suggestion that I bring out the Bacchetta to do so! What intrigued me about this is that after I got past the idea of "I haven't been involved in any club stuff in a year" was that I immediately starting thinking on how to use my trailer to haul that bike and trainer to the "Trainer Tours," since the bike in question is the only one I have that doesn't have lights for night use. Somehow, it figures.

And, as I ponder it a bit more, I could more readily toss the trainer into one of the kid trailers we have, haul it with my Vanguard (which already has lights), and use the Vanguard in the Trainer Tour.
